    Yay! I'll be so happy when SSD becomes mainstream. I purchased a normal HDD this week and was so disappointed to see how bulky and heavy it is. Solid state is so much nicer.

    I'm thinking my next computer purchase will be an SSD for the X200. The hard drive is, at this point, what I believe is holding me back the most.

    I think I'm going to install my Apex in my Netbook. It's been kicking around on rails in my desktop, but I think that's a way better place for it.

    I think this bodes well for the future of SSD. A few things I have read have said that Windows 7 is going to have some drive management features that realy improve the way these perform. Better disk management tools, re writes without performance degradation, its all on its way. Killing hard drive noise and acess times is something I think we can all agree on and if Western Digital saw fit to invest in its future, it looks like they have faith that its a viable long term solution. Perhaps we are only another year or so from it being common place in new systems? Lets hope so.

    Completely unsurprising. The only noteworthy revelation is that it took them this long.
